FOREWORD 

Believing  that  the  education  of  a  mechanical  engineer 
can  be  greatly  increased  in  value  by  his  actual  employ- 
ment in  the  works,  while  pursuing  his  technical  studies, 
Lafayette  College  announces  a  Co-operative  Course  in 
Mechanical  Engineering,  to  commence  in  June,  19 16. 

Easton,  the  home  of  Lafayette  College,  is  at  the  east- 
ern end  of  the  Lehigh  Valley,  one  of  the  richest  and  most 
extensive  industrial  communities  of  this  country.  Indus- 
tries of  great  variety  are  close  at  hand,  and  offer  to  the 
student-engineer  unsurpassed  advantages  for  training  and 
experience. 

The  co-operation  of  the  leading  manufacturers  of  this 
region  is  assured.  Some  of  them  have  volunteered  to 
assist  in  the  management  of  this  course  as  members  of 
the  Co-operative  Engineering  Advisory  Board. 

The  Director  of  the  Division  of  Mechanical  Engineering, 
Professor  E.  O.  Fitch,  Jr.,  will  be  glad  to  answer  inquiries 
and  to  give  such  additional  information  regarding  the 
course  as  may  be  desired.

ADMISSION  TO  THE  MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING 
COURSE 

All  correspondence  relating  to  admission  of  students  to  the 
Freshman  Class  should  be  addressed  to  the  Registrar. 

Students  from  other  colleges  and  technical  schools  seeking  advanced 
standing  in  the  Co-operative  Course  should  address  inquiries  to  the 
Director,  E.  0.  Fitch,  Jr. 

REQUIREMENTS   FOR   ADMISSION 

It  is  expected  that  every  applicant  for  admission  shall  have 
successfully  completed  at  least  the  equivalent  of  a  four-year  high 
school  course,  averaging  sixteen  hours  a  week  through  four  years, 
and  shall  be  a  young  man  of  good  health  and  good  moral  character. 

Students  who  expect  to  enter  Lafayette  College  upon  graduation 
from  an  accredited  preparatory  school  or  a  four-year  high  school 
should  apply  by  mail  to  the  Registrar  for  a  blank  "Entrance  Cer- 
tificate," which  will  be  sent  upon  request.  This  certificate,  when 
properly  filled  out  and  signed  by  the  principal  of  the  school,  should 
be  filed,  either  by  mail  or  in  person,  with  the  Registrar  and  the 
matriculation  fee  of  ten  dollars  paid. 

The  Registrar  will  present  the  certificate  to  the  faculty  Com- 
mittee on  Admission  of  Students,  and  will  advise  the  student 
whether  the  certificate  meets  the  requirements  for  admission,  or, 
if  deficient,  in  what  subjects  the  student  must  make  further  prep- 
aration. 

Students  who  have  not  attended  an  accredited  school,  or  whose 
preparation  has  been  irregular  or  deficient  in  certain  subjects, 
are  required  to  show  that  they  are  qualified  in  the  subjects  required 
for  admission  by  passing  the  examinations  conducted  by  Lafayette 
College  in  September  or  the  examinations  conducted  by  the  College 
Entrance  Board  in  June. 

Students  entering  Lafayette  from  other  colleges  are  required  to 
present  an  official  record  of  their  scholastic  work  and  also  a  cer- 
tificate of  honorable  dismissal. 


12  ADMISSION  TO  THE  MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING  COURSE 

The  admission  requirements  are  reckoned  in  terms  of  units.  A 
unit  is  denned  as  work  in  one  subject  which  is  equal  to  one-quarter 
of  the  entire  work  in  the  complete  High  School  course  for  one  year. 
This  may  mean  a  subject  taken  four  or  five  periods  a  week  throughout 
the  school  year,  or  two  or  three  periods  a  week  throughout  two 
years.  The  requirement  for  all  divisions  of  the  Freshman  class 
is  fourteen  and  one-half  units.  The  subjects  required  for  admission 
as  a  candidate  for  a  degree  in  Mechanical  Engineering  are: 

English 3 

History i 

Mathematics    (Algebra,    Plane   and   Solid 

Geometry,  Trigonometry) 4

THE   CO-OPERATIVE   COURSE   IN   MECHANICAL 
ENGINEERING 

The  Co-operative  Course  in  Mechanical  Engineering  aims  to 
accomplish  these  three  objects:  First,  to  give  the  students  a  broad 
foundation  for  life;  second,  to  teach  engineering  principles;  third, 
to  give  the  student  actual  experience  in  the  application  of  these 
principles  in  commercial  practice,  by  his  employment  in  well  equipped 
engineering  works,  and  so  supplement  his  technical  education  and 
prepare  him  for  the  practice  of  his  profession  upon  graduation. 
The  joint  contribution  made  by  the  engineering  works  and  the  col- 
lege gives  the  term  "Co-operative"  to  this  course. 

To  accomplish  these  three  objects,  the  course  is  arranged  as  fol- 
lows: 

FRESHMAN  AND  SOPHOMORE  YEARS 

Freshman  and  Sophomore  years  remain  the  same  as  for  the 
students  taking  the  regular  engineering  courses.  Mathematics, 
Physics  and  Chemistry,  English,  and  Modern  Languages,  compose 
most  of  the  work  of  these  years. 

At  the  end  of  Sophomore  year,  in  June,  those  students  electing 
the  Co-operative  Course,  are  placed  in  carefully  selected  works  of 
the  Lehigh  Valley  region,  as  student-apprentices,  where  they  are 
employed  and  perform  work  assigned  by  the  management,  and  re- 
ceive compensation  for  their  labor.  An  officer  of  instruction  of 
the  college  watches  carefully  the  progress  of  each  student-apprentice, 
and  confers  with  the  Management,  so  that  each  man  may  be  placed 
in  that  line  of  work  for  which  his  natural  ability  and  temperament 
are  best  suited.  This  is  the  "trial"  period,  in  fact,  the  period 
which  every  student  must  pass  through,  and  a  great  advantage 
of  this  course  is  that  this  period  comes  early  in  his  career,  and  under 
the  helpful  guidance  of  his  adviser  at  college  and  the  Management 
of  the  works.  Usually  this  "trial"  period  comes  after  graduation, 
when  there  is  great  disappointment  if  the  graduate  realizes 
for  the  first  time  that  his  chosen  profession  is  not  the  one  which  he 
can  follow.  If  he  could  have  had  this  experience  earlier,  he  could 
have  easily  changed  to  a  course  more  suited  to  his  abilities  and 
temperament. 


14  CO-OPERATIVE  COURSE  IN  MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING 

JUNIOR,    SENIOR,    AND   FIFTH   YEARS 

After  a  short  vacation  at  the  end  of  the  summer  between  Sopho- 
more and  Junior  years,  the  student  returns  to  college  and  finds 
the  following:  The  students  are  grouped  in  squads  of  two  men  each. 
One  man  spends  the  first  two  weeks  in  classrooms,  the  other  man 
the  first  two  weeks  as  an  employee  at  a  plant.  At  the  end  of  two 
weeks  the  two  change  places.  Bach  man  thus  spends  alternate  fort- 
nights in  classroom  and  plant  through  the  year.  This  plan 
is  followed  for  three  years,  with  the  exception  of  a  short  vacation 
each  Christmas  and  two  weeks  each  summer.  The  entire  course 
is  thus  completed  in  four  years  and  nine  months.  The  same  amount 
of  collegiate  work  is  covered  as  in  the  regular  engineering  courses, 
and  in  addition  to  this  there  are  seventy-two  weeks  of  practical 
work  in  the  plants,  for  which  the  student  receives  compensation, 
according  to  the  rates  of  pay  for  the  work  on  which  he  is  employed. 
The  earnings  will  increase  with  experience  but  in  any  event 
should  more  than  cover  the  fees  payable  to  the  college. 

It  may  be  pointed  out  that  the  amount  of  strenuous  shop  routine 
while  apparently  large  is  no  more  than  present  economic  conditions 
require  in  the  training  of  an  engineer.  The  young  engineer,  in  any 
case,  would  have  to  go  through  this  period  of  hard,  practical  work, 
and  it  is  a  great  advantage  to  be  able  to  have  this  experience  earlier 
in  life,  and  during  an  impressionable  age,  when  youth  and  activity 
will  aid  him  in  adapting  himself  to  industrial  conditions. 

The  employment  at  the  works  comes  at  a  time  when  the  student 
is  taking  up  the  study  of  engineering  subjects  at  college,  and  the 
student  is  closely  in  touch  with  the  application  of  the  principles 
of  engineering  in  the  works. 

Another  great  advantage  of  this  course  which  must  not  be  passed 
unnoticed,  is  that  the  student's  employment  in  the  works  in  com- 
petition with  men  cultivates  the  habit  of  industry,  which  is  re- 
flected very  strongly  in  his  work  at  the  college  in  the  added  zest 
and  interest  which  he  shows. 

Co-operative  students  are  required  to  obey  all  the  rules  of  the  works 
where  they  are  employed,  and  are  subject  to  all  the  laws  governing 
labor,  including  those  pertaining  to  liability  for  accident. 

The  successful  completion  of  the  course  leads  to  the  degree  of 
B.S.  in  Mechanical  Engineering.

EQUIPMENT 

The  new  Shop  and  Steam  Laboratory  is  102  feet  wide,  183  feet 
long,  and  40  feet  from  floor  to  peak  of  roof,  and  is  constructed 
entirely  of  concrete,  steel,  brick,  and  glass,  making  a  light,  airy 
building,  absolutely  fire-proof.  Two  partitions  8  feet  high  extend 
down  the  center  of  the  large  room,  forming  a  passageway,  to  the 
left  of  which  are  the  pattern  and  machine  shops,  and  to  the  right  the 
steam  laboratory  and  instructors'  offices.  At  the  back  of  these 
are  the  forge  shop,  the  foundry,  and  the  boiler  room,  connected 
with  each  of  which  is  a  storage  room  for  the  material  to  be  used, 
and  a  coal  bunker.  A  large  toilet  room,  supplied  with  hot  and  cold 
water  and  fitted  with  individual  lockers,  is  provided  in  the  base- 
ment for  the  convenience  of  the  students. 

The  pattern  shop  is  completely  equipped  with  benches,  lathes, 
band  saw,  circular  saw,  planer,  etc.,  and  all  the  accessories  necessary 
to  an  efficient  shop. 

The  foundry  is  supplied  with  a  cupola,  a  soft  metal  furnace,  a 
core  oven,  ladles,  flasks,  and  all  tools  necessary  to  make  moulds 
and  turn  out  practical  castings  in  iron,  semi-steel,  brass  and  aluminum. 

The  forge  shop  is  equipped  with  student  forges,  all  of  the  down- 
draft  type,  anvils,  and  all  the  tools  used  for  the  shaping  and  weld- 
ing metals,  and  a  gas  forge,  with  pyrometer  for  the  heat-treat- 
ment of  tool-steels. 

In  connection  with  the  forge  shop  there  is  a  sheet  metal  and 
pipe  shop  equipped  with  the  necessary  tools  to  give  instruction  in 
sheet  metal  and  pipe  work. 

The  machine  shop  is  fully  equipped  with  vise  benches  for  hand- 
work, lathes,  planers,  shapers,  milling  machines,  drill  presses, 
power  saw,  grinding  machine,  and  all  small  tools  to  go  with  each 
of  the  machines.  All  are  motor-driven,  and  direct-connected 
wherever  possible,  making  a  light  shop,  eliminating  the  danger  of 
belts,  and  also  furnishing  a  convenient  means  for  testing  any  of  the 
machines,  or  tools  of  various  makes  of  steel,  under  different  condi- 


26  MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING 

tions  of  operation.     The  gears  are  encased  to  give  greater  safety 
to  the  operator. 

The  steam  laboratory  is  to  be  equipped  with  standard  types  of 
steam  engines  installed  to  run  condensing  or  non-condensing. 
Injectors,  pumps,  steam  turbines,  gas  engines  and  all  instruments 
required  for  complete  tests  will  be  furnished.  The  boiler  room  will 
contain  a  fire  tube  and  a  water  tube  boiler  to  furnish  steam  for  the 
laboratory  and  also  to  provide  a  convenient  plant  for  instruction 
in  firing,  operating,  and  testing  boilers. 

All  of  the  equipment  is  of  full  practical  size  of  standard  make, 
of  most  modern  design,  and  of  a  type  that  offers  the  greatest  educa- 
tional advantages.  Every  care  has  been  taken  to  make  all  of  the 
equipment  as  safe  as  possible  for  the  inexperienced  student.  Certain 
machines  may  be  used  only  under  the  direct  supervision  of  an 
instructor.

a  study  of  solid  and  hollow  castings  and  the  construction 
of  their  patterns.  Frequent  visits  to  the  foundry  are  made,  so 
that  the  student  may  become  familiar  with  the  use  of  patterns 
there.  Foundry  practice :  Tempering  and  mixing  of  moulding 
sands,  the  use  and  care  of  tools  and  equipment,  pyrometry, 
green  sand,  loam,  and  dry  moulds;  multiple  production,

The  main  electrical  laboratory  is  thirty  by  sixty  feet  in  dimen- 
sions, and  is  fitted  up  with  representative  types  of  continuous 
and  alternating  current  generators  and  motors,  lamp-banks,  water 
rheostats,  brakes,  etc.;  and  the  necessary  instruments  are  supplied 
for  loading  and  testing  generators  and  motors. 

The  laboratories  are  supplied  from  the  Pennsylvania  Utilities 
Company's  station,  with  two-phase,  alternating  current,  at  a  fre- 
quency of  sixty  cycles.  This  current  is  available  for  testing  purposes. 
A  fifty  kilowatt  motor-generator  set  has  been  installed  for  the 
purpose  of  supplying  the  laboratories  with  direct  current.  This 
set  consists  of  a  seventy-five  horse  power  induction  motor,  directly 
connected  to  two  twenty-five  kilowatt,  120- volt  direct  current 
dynamos,  the  current  from  which  is  supplied  to  the  laboratories 
by  means  of  the  three- wire  system. 

In  case  of  need,  direct  current  from  the  plant  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Utilities  Company  is  also  available. 

While  designed  primarily  as  a  source  of  direct  current,  this  motor- 
generator  set  is  so  installed  as  to  be  available  at  all  times  for  ex- 
perimental tests  by  the  students.
